Overview
- On day 67 of their roughly 2,300-mile trek from Fort Worth to Washington, D.C., the monks left Decatur for Wat Lao Buddha Khanti in Snellville to rest and greet visitors.
- The stop features a reunion with Venerable Maha Dam Phommasan, the Snellville abbot injured in a November accident who later underwent a leg amputation.
- Gwinnett Public Transportation provided a shuttle from the Goodwill lot at 3033 Centerville Highway because there is no public parking at the temple.
- Local supporters lined the route in Gwinnett County, with volunteers preparing from early morning for the group’s arrival.
- The group plans to continue to Athens and Elberton after Snellville, following earlier medical care arranged in Morrow through Grady Health by city officials.
